9/17/08 Brewers (Sheets) at Cubs (Marquis): 7:05 PM CDT... Biggest start of Ben's career?

So Fielder is trying to singlehandedly make the Brewers win and it just doesn't work

We are losing?

[endaround]

Corey Hart is turning into Jeff Francouer

[trwi7]

DiFelice was only at 32 pitches. Couldn't they try to get one more inning out of him and pinch hit for him in the top of the inning?

[crewcrazy]

I haven't been able to comment on this since the Brewers got him, but...Todd freaking Coffey? The guy we used to love coming out of the Reds bullpen because it was extremely likely he was going to blow the save? We need him to pitch significant innings now? Hopefully the Brewers can get out of this inning with the lead.

[Oldcity]

I hate taking out DiFelice, especially when it's for Todd Coffey.

[Tailgat0r76]

Difelice was not looking too good by the end of the last inning and now would be facing batters for a second time. I'm very happy we pulled the plug on him before it was too late (a la Yost)

[pebadger]

I'll take teh out at second, but I really wish that umps would actually make the guy have a foot on teh bag with the ball, instead of just allowing the fielder to do things in a random, disconnected order.

[thablingster]

Coffey has looked good so far. He won't be a bad guy to have next year if they decide to keep him.

[jason21nl]

i'm going to say lamb pinch hits and hits a bomb

 

 

i am not correct

[naivin]

Sheets left the game with right forearm tightness. He told Sveum that he did it swinging the bat, -- JSOnline blog

 

I don't know what to say.

[Tailgat0r76]

Well that's good news. He's gotten mildly hurt a couple times batting this year; hopefully this means he goes AL next year and we don't have to face him

[ELCABALLO45]

Nice job Kendall!

[B2k1121]

Get him in please.

[bjkrautk]

Love the 2-base steal by Kendall. Heads up baseball!

[jason21nl]

great hustle by Kendall and very nice ab from nelson

[B2k1121]

Noooo, keep Marquis in.

[Tailgat0r76]

Well in a very small sample size, Nelson has looked like he's able to handle MLB pitching pretty decently. I have no idea how well he plays RF, and I doubt Sveum will do it, but I wouldn't mind just a one day spell of Hart for Nelson

[ELCABALLO45]

Nice job again from WMLW

[Dmiles23]

Does Anderson know what a delay steal is? Does he know what "delay" means? Every time Kendall steals he immediately says "Kendall with the delay steal." He did a delay steal once, and this is about the 5th time he's called a plain steal a delay steal. When the runner is like 1/2 way before the pitcher lets go of the ball, I don't see how a broadcaster can even think "delay steal."

[naivin]

Just thinking about this swinging the bat thing...If he felt good enough to go out for the 2nd - even though he obviously wasn't, I will take the position that it isn't very serious and hopefully a little ice/heat will take care of it. If so, he should probably start Saturday.

[wibadgers23]

I don't know if it's FSN or WMLW, but somebody is sleeping on the job.

[B2k1121]

I would have never guessed that would be a strikeout.

[bbaehman]

We need some AIG insurance runs....oh wait

[ELCABALLO45]

I would have never guessed that would be a strikeout.

At least it was not a groud ball...
